I wrote a little program (7KB), which I call miniXcal that will satisfy the immediate need for a simple calendar. Through .jwmrc you can set a program to be executed when the clock is being clicked, this is where miniXcal fits. miniXcal will be shown at the current mouse location, on top of all other windows, and will disappear when the user clicks somewhere out of the calendar. Very simple and comfortable IMHO. I really hope that you'll find it useful, and maybe include this in the next Puppy!

Will this work with older versions of JWM? I'm running Puppy 1.07 and clicking on the clock does not start miniXcal, although it does run nicely from a console. I made the modification in .jwmrc and restarted JWM. I even tried restarting X, but that didn't help either._________________Puppy unofficial tester (off and on) since v0.9.2

JWM has the option to run a program when the clock is clicked since v0.17. I'm pretty sure Puppy 1.0.7 has a greater version, hence it should work. Two things I can think of, try typing: "which miniXcal" at console, if it doesn't output anything it means you didn't copy miniXcal to the right place (like /usr/bin). Second, try "jwm -p" at console, to check the .jwmrc for errors. Can't think of another idea..._________________Lior Tubi

i wrote a simple script for Icewm that pops up the date and time when the clock is clicked, and the date and time can be copied to the clipboard ... i also put buttons on the window to run ical or xclock ... would it be a useful idea to have miniXcal automatically copy a date/time string to the clipboard?

Notes:
(*) The executable weights now 8KB
(*) G2, gtk1 is really handicapped when it comes to clipboard handling. The clipboard is only saved while the program is working, but hence minixcal exits on mouse leave it is not possible to keep the date (any conventional suggestion would be great!)... thanks for the ideas anyways
(*) I looked into binding Ical and minixcal a little bit more, but I won't from two reasons: 1) Ical's output is a mess 2) minixcal is not a calendar program, this is why we feature Ical
